And now we come to Cinco de Mayo. Sadly, there were no events in Montreal. I diligently searched on Google to no avail. So I settled on a snazzy Mexican joint, Limòn, in the St. Henri quartier. I met my friend, Philippe, at 5:30 sans reservations - shame on me. Every single table in the place was open but there wasn't anything available until 8:00. Strange. I guess they just reserve the tables the whole night with reserved signs and the party has it for the whole night. So we ended up eating at the bar.
Even the Mexican restaurant didn't have any Cinco de Mayo specials! Although, I guess this is to be expected since it commemorates the Battle of Puebla, which was a victory over the French. I celebrated with a couple of margaritas which weren't of the size or quality that I'm used to, and the place had absolutely no Mexican flare.The enchiladas were so so, although the presentation was very nice. The service was just so so as they could've been more friendly.
